It was a busy week in tech news, which meant it was also a busy week for the Re/code appearances on CNBC.

Walt Mossberg took to the airwaves to comment on Amazon’s introduction of the Fire phone.

Walt also sounded off on the Aether Cone, an Internet-connected speaker designed to automatically serve up audio of interest, both music and spoken word.

Meanwhile, Kara Swisher was in France for the Cannes Lions advertising shindig.

But even from France, she was also breaking news about Twitter, including the latest in its executive shuffle.

She also appeared on CNBC to talk about the short-messaging service’s ad sales.

Liz Gannes was on NBC’s “Press:Here,” talking about a wide range of tech topics, from Internet switches to location-based technology.

Finally, Ina Fried was on “Street Signs” on Friday to talk about Apple’s coming iWatch and the state of high-tech wrist wear.

And she went on NPR’s “Here & Now” ahead of the Amazon phone launch to talk about what to expect.
